flexible space - 85 home plans

flexible space - 85 home plans by Frank Betz Associates, Inc.

Homes today require flexible spaces as vital links to the future. Lofts, home offices, bonus spaces and optional bedrooms come together in this bold new collection of highly functional houses. Distinctly built for today’s savvy market, the homes of this portfolio still evoke the charm of ages past, with blends of familiar exterior materials and plenty of outdoor spaces. Here are 85 plans with rooms that flex and change according to the lifestyles of their owners, with the craftsmanship and style of timeless architecture.

Some stats…

  • Flexible Spaces: 85 Home Plans Featuring Bonus Rooms, Keeping Rooms, Lofts and Extra Living Space
  • 85 home plans
  • 166 pages
  • No. of times I actually opened this book: 4 TIMES!

The book is more of a plan catalog of Frank Betz Associates, Inc. as further down the read, pricing of the stock home plans are published too. And, I don’t know why we have this when all of its floor plans and contents are available for preview online. Just check out http://www.flexiblespaces.com. I believe all the plans are for sale, the license to use that is. With further purchase options like additional plans, materials workbook, etc.

Unfortunately, the plans are more suited to US and not for  tropical Philippines. But at the least, you’ll get nice guide and ideas, the flexibility of the home design, timeless architecture, efficient use of space, provisions for changes as lifestyle evolves and more.

Sample pages are here. You can order online here or head to National Bookstore for a quicker on-the-spot buy.
